SUMMARY:The 4th Witch
DESCRIPTION:The 4th Witch is a fantastic new tale\, inspired by elements of Shakespeare’s Macbeth\, in which a girl escapes war and seeks protection from three witches. They agree to take her on as an apprentice with only one condition: she must never use her powers for revenge. Consumed by grief and rage\, the girl comes to realize that it was Macbeth who killed her parents. Now she must choose between reconciliation or vengeance. \nTold through inventive practical effects executed in plain sight\, the troupe brilliantly employs shadow puppetry\, live music and actors in silhouette\, to create an entire new world in The 4th Witch. Manual Cinema has built a devoted fanbase in Boston over the course of their thrilling past productions at ArtsEmerson including Ada/Ava and Frankenstein. Do not miss their triumphant return this fall!

SUMMARY:Les Miserables
DESCRIPTION:STILL THE WORLD’S MOST POPULAR MUSICAL. \nCameron Mackintosh presents the acclaimed production of Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schönberg’s Tony Award®-winning musical phenomenon\, Les Misérables. This brilliant staging has taken the world by storm and has been hailed as “Les Mis for the 21st Century” (Huffington Post)\, “a reborn dream of a production” (Daily Telegraph) and “one of the greatest musicals ever created” (Chicago Tribune). Set against the backdrop of 19th century France\, Les Misérables tells an enthralling story of broken dreams and unrequited love\, passion\, sacrifice and redemption–a timeless testament to the survival of the human spirit. \nThis epic and uplifting story has become one of the most celebrated musicals in theatrical history. The magnificent score of Les Misérables includes the songs “I Dreamed a Dream\,” “On My Own\,” “Bring Him Home\,” “One Day More\,” “Master of the House” and many more. Seen by over 130 million people worldwide in 53 countries and 22 languages\, Les Misérables is undisputedly one of the world’s most popular musicals.

But this tour focuses on scientific\, technological\, and social revolutions that started in Boston. \nIt’s Harborfest Week in Boston! \nOn this special afternoon tour\, we’ll focus on some of the scientific\, technological\, and social revolutions that started in Boston after the Revolutionary War ended. \nAnd since 2026 is the 150th anniversary of the invention of the telephone in Boston\, by Alexander Graham Bell and his assistant Thomas Watson\, we’ll take you to some of the locations tied to the earliest days of telecommunications. \nWe’ll also talk about Thomas Edison’s first failure; the grade school dropout who became one of America’s most famous inventors; the woman who may have invented the Ponzi scheme; and why we wouldn’t have had the Wizard of Oz without a Boston startup company founded in a railroad car. \nAll tickets for this tour are donate-what-you-wish!
